Our Workshops
Children’s Opera Studio offers a 5 or 10 day process-oriented, interactive journey through the disciplines of the Performing Arts.
During a workshop, three elements of theatrical performance - singing, dancing and acting- come together to engage the child’s creative Imagination and help them uncover new avenues of self-expression.
The intention is for the child to be immersed in all aspects of the process, from learning songs and dances and creating props, to painting set pieces and helping create costumes.
The culmination of this process is a fully staged, costumed performance for the school community. Children, parents, and teachers work together as a team to produce an hour long children’s opera.
Children’s Opera Studio makes a lasting impression on young lives, enriching their hearts and souls and giving them heightened self-confidence.
